Question
- which of the following is not one of the ways that a tessellation can repeat?○ translation○ dilation○ reflection○ rotation
Brief Explanations
Tessellations require repeated congruent shapes to cover a plane without gaps/overlaps. Translation, reflection, and rotation are rigid transformations that preserve shape/size, so they work for tessellation repetition. Dilation changes the size of the shape, which would create gaps or overlaps, so it cannot be used for tessellation repetition.
